Thanks guys :) I'm heading over to pick the car up tomorrow evening. Very much looking forward to it, however I'm really keeping fingers crossed that it's not going to be a frosty evening!

Yeah, Saddleworth School. I might have finished in 2001, didn't enjoy school much. I'm 29 y/o now if that's anything to go by.

Ah I see. What's your nephews name?

Picked the car up tonight! All superb apart from one niggle... No horn :( I can hear the relay clicking so hoping it's just going to be the actual horn sirens themselves that are dead. My colleagues e46 m3 only has one tone, so guessing they could be a common fail point!

Time to do some research ;)

Thanks :)

I'm gonna hopefully take a look into a couple of things next week and put pictures up as I carry out jobs on the car!

Contents list on Page 1 of this thread.

I've got quite a big list of little things I want to change/improve to start with, but for now, it's a little cold to get any of this done...
